Early-morning pursuit reportedly connected to dispensary burglary appears to end in 2 separate crashes
A police chase ended in a violent crash in the heart of Long Beach early Monday morning, and an investigation into a second crash that may be connected is underway.
Video taken by Sky5 shows the aftermath of one crash, which occurred near Pacific Avenue and Ocean Boulevard around 5 a.m.
The pursuit is believed to have been prompted by a burglary at a marijuana dispensary, KTLA 5’s Rich Prickett said from Sky5.
A mangled black sedan was seen sitting in the middle of the intersection as officers were investigating it. Two other damaged vehicles, including one that had rolled over onto its side, were seen not far away.

The area is set to remain closed as the probe into the pursuit and crash continues.
According to Rich, another crash involving a vehicle colliding with a fire hydrant was also reported at Pacific Coast Highway and Rose Avenue.
The site of the second crash is just under three miles away from the first one.

Police were seen taking large bags into a vehicle at the scene as water spewed out from underneath the car that sheared the hydrant.
“We’re seeing Long Beach police here with a bunch of bags that appear to be products from that dispensary,” Rich observed. “This is possibly one of two crashes that happened early [Monday morning] in the Long Beach area [that were connected to the pursuit].”
As of publication, it is not known which crash occurred first.
No further details were immediately available.
